`11.Mar.2024`	Editor: Lite XL 2.1.3r1 for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS George 'walkero' Sokianos has released version 2.1.3r1 of the editor Lite XL for AmigaOS 4 (OS4Depot link) and MorphOS. The developer has introduced a new feature in LiteXL that allows switching between ISO and Unicode files while preserving the text. Users can also enter any text in their own language, including umlauts. All changes: Added: Added AmiUpdate support Added the Tetris plugin Updated: Updated the code to the upstream 2.1.3 release Compiled with SDL 2.30.0 that supports editing with ISO encodings, other than English. Now the editor should be able to support any language and in conjuction with the codesets plugin be able to make text encodings conversions Now the codesets plugin supports MorphOS 3.18 and above Changed: Changed the way the "Open in system" option executes the WBRun command in AmigaOS 4, with a more secure way Did a lot of code cleanup in sync with the upstream, and parts of code that were left over Compiled with pcre2 10.42 (MorphOS version only) Fixed: I did a lot of changes on path manipulation and usage, fixing scanning the root of a partition or an assign path Fixed an error with the codesets plugin, where an empty file could not be opened Improved the folder suggestions when opening projects or changing paths. Now even the root folders of a partition are presented Fixed ghmarkdown plugin, but now requires a GitHub token to be provided If you want to follow George 'walkero' Sokiano's work on Amiga projects, you can visit his Ko-fi page.

`11.Mar.2024`	Turn-based strategy game: Demo version of "Ecliptic" Ecliptic is described by the author as a mixture of turn-based tactical combat and role-playing. Visually, it is reminiscent of the retro-futuristic science fiction of the 1970s and 1980s. The player's task is to regain control of a spaceship drifting in space and occupied by aliens. A first demo has now been released. The game is currently under development and has no sound at the moment. It requires 1MB RAM, recommended is an Amiga 1200 with HD and Fast RAM.

`10.Mar.2024` Dietmar Planitzer (Mail)	Operating system for Amiga 3000/4000: First alpha version of "Serena OS" At the end of 2022, we reported on the start of Dietmar Planitzer's project to write "Apollo", an experimental operating system for the Amiga 3000/4000. After another status update at the end of last year, the developer has now renamed his project "Serena OS" and released a first alpha version, about which he kindly wrote us the following: "Let's start with the most obvious change: Apollo is now called Serena OS. A few other things have changed over the last few months. Serena now has an API which makes it possible to write (simple) programmes. Dispatch queues, files, directories, pipes as well as clock and timer functions are currently supported. In addition, there is an advanced C standard library (libc) and the beginnings of a C maths library (libm). There is now also a simple shell and a RAM-based file system. The VT52 and VT100 terminal emulation is now also largely complete and the VT52 emulation now also supports the Atari ST extensions. Both VT100 and VT52 emulation now also support multiple colours (in VT52 emulation mode the corresponding Atari ST ESC codes must be used). At the moment, however, the system still has a very significant limitation: neither floppy disc nor hard disc is currently supported. However, achieving this is the plan for the next stage of the project. It will then be possible to create a programme for Serena on a Windows or Linux computer and then run it on the Amiga under Serena. I suspect that some of you are wondering what these ominous dispatch queues are? Dispatch queues are used to run programme parts in parallel. The original Amiga OS provided tasks for this purpose and other operating systems provide threads. Apple's macOS implements dispatch queues on the basis of traditional threads. The problem with threads and tasks is that programs allocate them, then use them intermittently, then spend most of their time just sitting passively on the thing without actually using it (threads spend a lot of time sleeping). However, a thread always uses memory and kernel resources - whether it's sleeping or actually doing work makes no difference. Serena is instead built entirely around dispatch queues: Processes manage dispatch queues and dispatch queues do their work with the help of "virtual processors". You can think of a virtual processor as a highly dynamic thread that is not tied to a specific process. Virtual processors are moved back and forth between dispatch queues and processes as required. If a dispatch queue needs to do more work, it gets an additional virtual processor. However, if it does less work, it gives up a virtual processor, which can then be used by another queue in another process." (dr) [News message: 10.
